If your school is anything like mine, midterms are usually spread out during the month of March (for the spring semester). Getting through them can be tough, but in the end it always (hopefully!) works out.
1. Denial
"Midterms? I have a month to worry about those!" Next thing you know, they're tomorrow and you haven't even glossed over your 70 pages of notes.
2. Fear
You look at the first page and realize your cramming and 3 cups of coffee did not prepare you for this. But it's okay, maybe your prof will curve it?
3. Prayers that whatever studying you did paid off
4. The waiting game
We all have that one professor that hands back exams weeks later.
5. Seeing your grade, and passing.
I knew I did well!
